This publication is an edited English commentary to the text known as the 'Prachin Panth Parkash'. This text is an early historical text into the tales of the Sikhs which was dictated to the British by Bhai Rattan Singh Bhangu. The text predominantly deals with the various wars involving the Sikhs following the lives of the ten Guru's. However, this first part to the text only covers the reason for creating the text and the life of Sri Guru Nanak Dev Ji. This text is a translation of the commentary provided by Akali Baba Santa Singh Nihang of the Buddha Dal. The reason for creating this translation is twofold: The first is to provide an English translation linked to the warrior sect of Sikhism known as the Nihangs. The Nihangs have a colourful history and added so much to the Khalsa order however, there is a lack of literature produced by the order. The second is to bring you a different perspective in English.
